Wickliffe Twins Capture

Women’s Doubles Crown
BY DAN MAGILL, JR.
Don Floyd, known as the ‘“backboard” because of his
exasperating steadiness, captured the Sixth Annual North
east Georgia men’s singles tennis tournament here Sunday
afternoon, defeating Cortez Suttles of College Park, 6-2,
6-4.
The former Georgia State and
Atlanta City champion never
trailed in the first set but over
came a 2-4 deficit to win in the
second set. :
Floyd was uset by George Chi
chester of Atlanta in the quarter
finals of the recent Crackerland
tourney here but he avenged that
loss by beating Chichester in the
semifinals of the Northeast Geor
gia meet, 6-1, 6-0.
Suttles maintained his perfect
record of always reaching the
finals here. He was runnerup to
Lou Faquin of Memphis in the
1940 Crackerland tourney, winner
of Chichester in the 1950 Cracker
land finals.
Comer Victorious
Another former state champion,
Mrs. Sarah Comer, of Atlanta, was

SCORNED SOUTHPAWS WIN
Y anksTake2nd Spot
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
A trio of scorned southpaws were dancing on air todav
to the music made by the moans and groans of the Detroit
Tigers and Cleveland Indians.
Fresh from upset victories over
the pennant contenders, the trio--
pitchers Stuby Overmire, Bill
Wight and Billy Pierce—proved
once again how embarrassing it
can be to underestimate a castoff.
Overmire, cast adrift by Detroit
last winter, gained sweet revenge
upon his former employers yester
day when he hung a 6-2 defeat on
the league leaders to give the St.
Louis Browns an even break in
their doubleheader. The Tigers had
come from behind to win the open
er, 5-4.
Wight and Pierce, traded off by
the New York Yankees and Tigers,
respectively, turned in sparkling
performances in pitchihg the Chi
cago White Sox to 2-1 and 6-5
triumphs over the Indians.
In Second Place
Taking advantage of the Tiger
and Indians lapses, the Yankees
won two games from the hapless
Philadelphia Athletics, 6-4 and
5-2, won to climb into second place
past the Indians. The Bronx
Bombers, who open a long home
stay Tuesday with an important
three-game series against the Tig
ers, thus chewed a full game off
the Tigers’ lead and moved an
other game in front of the fribe.
